our files were received in Beijing. That's pretty incredible!
Our 1 year LID anniversary is August 26, 2009. I wonder how long we have left? I wonder who our baby is! The good news is, I don't have to wonder if we will be parents anymore. What a great feeling that is! I will write more when we get back from our trip. Thanks so much to our family and friends who have offered 365 days of support! 24/7.
So... the last couple of years through countless infertility treatments and the whole roller coaster ride of international adoption, Kyle and I dreamt of a vacation for the two of us.
we were totally selfish! We are leaving for the BAHAMAS on Thursday.... I can't believe it's real! We need this and so deserve it... so we did it. Thanks to Nana and Grandpa to be, they have totally rearranged their schedules to watch Johnson and Peanut... 35... Monday I will be 35. I can't believe it. the big 30 was never that big of a deal. EVER. I didn't feel old. Now is a different story. 35 is bothering me. Big-time. I know it's not old... especially when you are referring to someone else. But ME... really... 35. Yup! It bothers me. I thought my life would somehow turn out different. I thought I would be a mom by now. (I guess in some ways I am!) I thought I would be consumed by a toss up of sesame street and grade school woes. In some ways I knew my life would be exactly what it is. I knew I would, and still would be married to my best friend! I knew I would surround myself with a few close friends and family that are more like siblings, people that truly make me happy. I knew that my relationship with my parents would continue to grow and be very special. I knew that I would be happy. I am happy... old, but happy! Me 35... Monday... wow!
Nothing new to report! Just wanted to mark our 11 month being logged in.
That much closer!
Kinda neat to think that we are almost a whole year closer to our Lauryn coming home!
I figured it was time for an upgrade! Let me know what you think of the new look!
Keep Happy!
The box has changed! Kyle and I are currently logged in, in China and waiting for our file to be reviewed, then we wait to be matched with our baby Lauryn!
I follow rumour queens website. The website indicated that files up to and including August 31, 2007 are out of review! The CCAA seems to be reviewing about 3 months worth of files every month... pretty exciting. I can't wait to be out of review. One year and counting. Still baby steps, but I will take em'! This has totally made my day!
Keep happy!
I hope everyone got a chance to enjoy this day! Kyle and I totally took advantage and slept in BIG TIME! Once we got up and at em' we took Johnson for a long walk on a trail by our house. He surprised us both by jumping right in the water! We had a great time.
My aunt, cousin and her daughter stopped by for a quick visit. They were visiting family in Belleville, and on the way home they stopped for a cup of tea. My cousin and her daughter are moving to Australia! I wish them all the luck in the world. It was so nice to see them, hard to say goodbye though! Bittersweet!
Back to work tomorrow!
Happy Canada Day everyone!
Keep happy!
